“I really want to go up [to Michigan] for a visit,” the linebacker mentioned. “I am trying to go up with Kurt [Taylor] one day. In the future I will.”

Pappoe will be a sophomore at Grayson High School in Loganville, Georgia this fall. Meanwhile, Taylor will be a senior at the same school. Taylor, a 2017 three-star running back, committed to Michigan on October 16, 2015.
